My Unbreakable Vow

I did it. Yesterday, I made an unbreakable vow (nerd alert). I promise to never watch another episode of The Hills again.

Do you know how big of a deal this is for me? I’ve watched this show from the very beginning, and yes, I’m including Laguna Beach in that. But with the departure of Lauren Conrad, I’ve lost interest in the rest of the characters. She may be lacking in personality, but her mundane-ness and her weird thing where she sounds like she has a bad cold every time she got mad made her and her little friend adventures more interesting. LC was boring but that only made everyone relate to her in some way. She was the plain heroine who did no wrong–just the wrong things happened to her. So of course we wanted her to have the best!

I didn’t realize the extend of my disinterest until yesterday when I realized I had missed the return of Season 5 with Kristin Cavallari as the villain. I loved her on Laguna Beach, but now you can totally see the outgrown Hollywood look on her. Before, her wealth just made you want to envy her; now, it only reminds you that this aspiring actress has nothing else going for her.

Also, Audrina, Lo,  Stephanie and Heidi have never seemed so awkward and fake in their scenes together. Has it always been like this? I think LC was the missing link between them; she was genuinely friends with all four of them but without her, their conversations seem so forced. I can’t even begin to imagine…wait, you know what? I’ll just stop talking about it. It’s over.

Goodbye, Hills. It’s been swell. You’ve inspired me in so many ways, like how to eat more donuts because I know that I’ll never look as good as those girls and how to hate my own hometown. I’m moving on. I haven’t yet picked a new reality show to obsess over  but you’ll probably read all about it here very soon.
